Outdoor maintenance—not the same as event plant rentals

Property managers and homeowners often confuse ongoing landscape care with short-term event rentals. This page covers recurring outdoor and planted-space maintenance. For weddings, brand activations, and premiere décor, use our events & plant rentals hub instead.

Our exterior practice also designs and installs the spaces we later maintain—see rooftop garden design, brownstone & townhouse landscaping, and exterior design.

Who hires us for landscape maintenance

  • Homeowners with terrace, rooftop, or backyard plantings who want reliable care
  • Townhouse and brownstone owners after a renovation or new install
  • Multifamily and office property managers needing courtyard, street-tree, or seasonal rotation support
  • Commercial and industrial sites that want a consistent outdoor standard

We serve residential, retail, commercial, and industrial clients as part of our broader outdoor offering across NYC and the Tri-State area.

What maintenance can cover

Exact scope is written into your proposal. Based on services described across our outdoor pages, clients commonly ask us for:

  • Routine plant care so beds, planters, and trees stay healthy
  • Seasonal rotations (called out for office, multifamily, industrial, and commercial outdoor landscapes)
  • Care for courtyards, rooftop gardens, and terrace plantings
  • Coordination with installs we designed (pavers, planters, water features nearby)
  • Street tree services where that is part of a commercial / multifamily outdoor program

Under our maintenance plan, plants are guaranteed for free replacements—no caps, no questions asked (as stated on our plant care & maintenance page). Confirm outdoor-specific inclusions when you request a quote.

Our process

  1. Call or email about your plant and landscape goals—expect practical advice.
  2. We provide a ballpark estimate; if it fits, we schedule a brief walkthrough.
  3. You receive a complimentary formal estimate for your team.
  4. On approval, we begin service delivery and ongoing maintenance.

That same transparent process supports both new installs and care-only relationships.

Service area

Maintenance and outdoor work are described for New York City and the Tri-State region, including Nassau County, Suffolk County (Hamptons and North Fork), New Jersey, and Connecticut. Ask us about Boston, Philadelphia, and other Northeast properties. Our crews stage from a Long Island City greenhouse—helpful for Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and nearby commercial routes.

Design-build clients vs. maintenance-only

Many of our strongest maintenance relationships start with a project we designed and installed—rooftop, terrace, courtyard, or townhouse backyard—then continue with scheduled care. If another firm built your space, we can still discuss a walkthrough and whether your plantings are a fit for our program.

FAQ — Landscape maintenance NYC

Do you maintain rooftop and terrace gardens? Yes. We provide upkeep for outdoor spaces we create and offer a comprehensive landscape maintenance service for NYC. Rooftops and terraces are a core outdoor typology for us.

Are plant replacements included? Under our maintenance plan, plants are guaranteed for free replacements with no caps, as described on our care pages. We will confirm how that applies to your outdoor contract.

Can property managers get seasonal color changes? Yes—seasonal rotations are part of our residential and commercial outdoor landscape offering for office, multifamily, industrial, and commercial buildings.

Do you only maintain projects you installed? We prioritize spaces we design and build, and we also evaluate care-only requests after a walkthrough.

How is this different from indoor office plant service? Indoor plant programs and outdoor landscape maintenance can overlap in process, but outdoor sites face wind, weather, and hardscape constraints. Tell us which environments you need covered.

How do we get a quote? Email info@interiorfoliage.com or call 718-784-4527 with the property address, photos, current issues, and whether you need weekly, biweekly, or seasonal visits (cadence confirmed in proposal).
